I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 120 System, you don't understand women at all!
The lakeside was quiet.

There is no sound.

Even the cicadas' chirping that had been heard in the afternoon had disappeared.

The clear daytime will eventually pass, and dark clouds will gradually gather on the horizon.

The gentle breeze gradually intensified, and as the sun disappeared, the temperature by the lake began to drop, causing the willow branches along the lake to flutter in the wind.

The tangled willow branches seemed to foreshadow Su Weiwei's current mood.

She pursed her lips, looking at Gu Yifan who had turned his head to look at her intently.

She knew he knew something.

After all, Su Weiwei hadn't made any deliberate attempt to hide it, but she hadn't expected Gu Yifan's rejection to be so quick and so sudden.

It's because of that girl.

A girl named Lin Wanyu.

Su Weiwei thought of the girl standing next to Gu Yifan in the bar.

She was indeed an innocent and naive girl. Even a fool could understand what Gu Yifan meant to her; the affection in her eyes was almost overflowing.

There is a girl who is beautiful, devoted to Gu Yifan, obedient, and comes from an excellent family background who likes Gu Yifan.

Su Weiwei felt she should be happy.

But she just couldn't be happy.

He even felt a pang of jealousy towards that girl.

So, how should she answer?
Su Weiwei looked at Gu Yifan, who was looking down at her.

After a moment of silence, she smiled sweetly, captivating all who beheld her. A hint of cunning flashed in her foxy eyes as she looked at Gu Yifan.

"Silly Xiao Fan, I've always thought of you as my younger brother."

As she spoke, Su Weiwei sat down on the lawn, her intelligent and charming face scrutinizing Gu Yifan. "Xiao Fan, what do you want to say?"

As long as she keeps denying it, that's fine.

In short, she would never back down because of such a small setback.

They wouldn't be like little girls who would cry and give up just because they were slightly rejected.

She is Su Weiwei, a lawyer who will one day become the second "Queen of Lawyers".

Perseverance is her strength, and turning the impossible into the possible is her professional quality.

She won't lose!
Gu Yifan observed Su Weiwei's expression.

Seeing that her expression was natural and her pretty face was smiling, she didn't seem to be lying, so he hesitated a little.

Could it be that he's overthinking it?

"Pfft." Su Weiwei chuckled when she saw Gu Yifan's conflicted expression.

"What, are you getting distant with your older sister now? You're so sensitive just because I'm giving you a shoulder massage?"

Gu Yifan shook his head and changed the subject, "No, the clothes are almost hung up. I'll go wake my sister up."

But when Gu Yifan stood up and passed by Su Weiwei, who was sitting to the side, she grabbed his arm.

Su Weiwei asked with a face full of curiosity, "You said last time that you and that girl named Lin Wanyu were pretending to be a couple. Have you two taken your fake relationship into real life?"

Gu Yifan looked embarrassed and shook his head, "No."

At least not yet.

"I see." Su Weiwei nodded thoughtfully and smiled at him. "Alright, go prepare the barbecue. I'll go call Nuolan. It looks like it's going to rain soon, so we need to hurry."

After Gu Yifan agreed, they walked towards the barbecue grill by the lake.

Su Weiwei closed her beautiful eyes, sat on the lawn, and let out a long sigh.

Not yet. Not yet. That's great.

Although she didn't care whether Gu Yifan had a girlfriend or not, even if he did date that girl, so what? Dating wasn't marriage; it was just a relationship experience.

She could wait, wait for Gu Yifan to grow up slowly, wait for him to grow a little older.

If he doesn't mind that she'll grow old and lose her looks by then.

But now, knowing that the two are not together, Su Weiwei feels very happy, extremely happy.

Su Weiwei also stood up from the grass, a faint smile on her face, and walked towards the tent.

Although Gu Yifan politely declined, it's okay.

If Gu Yifan accepted her intimacy so readily, Su Weiwei might start to doubt his character.

Is Gu Yifan still the white moonlight in her heart?

But now, Su Weiwei is certain.

"He's still so kind, and he can't bear to hurt others; he hasn't changed at all."

It's alright, let her be the enchanting Su Daji who bewitched the king.

Because he deserves it.

Gu Yifan watched as Su Weiwei tiptoed to Nuolan's tent, carrying clothes and a stainless steel bowl, and quietly unzipped it.

That look was exactly like a mother fox about to steal eggs from a henhouse.

Judging from his actions, it seems that he was indeed overthinking things.

However, the system's conclusion was completely the opposite.

[Because of your upright and kind qualities, and influenced by your personal charm, the nine-tailed fox spirit Su Weiwei has strengthened her feelings for you.]

[She would rather bear the stigma of being a bewitching fox spirit than change her feelings for you; you have gained +6 favorability from Lady Su.]

[Su Weiwei's current favorability rating: 75]

When you complete the task of accompanying Consort Su on a boat trip to admire the starry sky, Su Weiwei will automatically become your team member.

The current number of team members remaining is 1.

[If your strength isn't yet sufficient, how can you better protect the best girls in your heart? Please continue to work hard to improve your strength and unlock team member slots.]

You can now go to the team member interface to view reserve team member Su Weiwei's personal panel.

Gu Yifan was puzzled.

How can this woman's mind be so hard to guess? He said all that, yet his goodwill towards her only increased instead of decreased.

Could it be that he really has that much personal charisma, or...?

"System, what do you know about women, you cold, lifeless machine!"

"Tell me, is this just nonsense?"

Gu Yifan raised a question.

Su Weiwei quietly slipped into the tent.

Nolan was probably exhausted and was still asleep, completely unaware of what was happening.

Su Weiwei chuckled to herself.

That's true. Nuolan was busy with work the other day, drove all day, took photos, and had a water fight. It's no wonder she was tired.

Thanks to this, she was able to have a precious opportunity to spend time alone with Xiao Fan.

So, Su Weiwei felt she should thank her good friend.

Su Weiwei quietly took out a newly bought stainless steel bowl and a bottle of mineral water, carefully unscrewed the cap and poured it into the bowl, and then carefully placed Nuolan's hand into the bowl.

It's said that this can lead to some unpleasant things happening.

Fortunately, Su Weiwei didn't really want to see her best friend embarrass herself, so she made a slightly 'bigger' movement.

Perhaps it was because the water was too cold, but as soon as Su Weiwei put her best friend's hand in, Nuolan woke up with a start and slowly opened her eyes.

The two looked at each other.

"what!!!"

Nolan screamed.

Outside the tent, Gu Yifan had just placed the bagged lamb skewers on the grill when he heard screams coming from inside the tent.

Just as Gu Yifan was hesitating whether to go over and take a look.

Nuolan's angry voice pierced through the tent and went straight into Gu Yifan's ears.

"Su! Wei! Wei!!!"

Gu Yifan silently withdrew his foot and continued grilling.

Inside the tent.

"Water, watch out for water!"

Su Weiwei carefully held the stainless steel bowl in both hands, looking slyly at Nuolan, who had an angry expression.

"What were you doing just now?" Nuolan shook her wet hands and questioned Su Weiwei.

"Nothing much, Lanlan~ Time to get up and take your medicine."

Su Jinlian Weiwei smiled sweetly, holding the bowl of water, and said in a coquettish voice, "I don't believe you! Tell me the truth!" Nuolan didn't believe Su Weiwei's nonsense at all, and rolled her eyes, threatening, "Otherwise, I won't be so polite!"

Su Weiwei didn't answer immediately. "I'll put the bowl out first, just in case it spills."

However, Su Weiwei moved her body a little closer to the tent entrance before speaking softly.

"It's nothing, they just saw on TV that if you put a sleeping person's hand in water, that person will..."

"What would happen?" Nuolan asked skeptically, pouting, "Weiwei, when did you start believing in such strange things?"

"You'll wet the bed."

Su Weiwei finished speaking quickly, ignoring Nuolan who was stunned and whose pretty face had turned red, and quickly left along the planned retreat route.

Nuolan froze for a few seconds before blushing furiously, "Su Weiwei! You...you despicable woman!"

Su Weiwei's laughter came from outside the tent, "Your clothes are dry, I put them inside for you."

Nuolan was so angry she wanted to chase after him, but then she remembered she wasn't wearing pants yet, so she reluctantly gave up.

But that doesn't mean she'll let this scumbag get away with it!

"You wait!"

Nuolan quickly put on her dress, her messy hair still untied, and crawled out of the tent.

Su Weiwei cried out in panic and then turned and ran towards Gu Yifan.

"Xiao Fan, save me!"

"Su Fox, don't run away!"

In her anger, Nuolan actually called out Su Weiwei's nickname.

"Don't chase me, and I won't run away," Su Weiwei shouted, turning her head.

Nuolan had caught up to Gu Yifan, while Su Weiwei hid opposite him.

The two women circled around Gu Yifan like the King of Qin circling a pillar.

Su Weiwei: "Come and catch me~ hehe."

Nuolan was very angry. "Gu Yifan, quickly help me catch her."

Gu Yifan wouldn't participate in the two girls' playful fight, not even raising his head.

"The lamb skewers will burn."

Considering that the lamb skewers seemed more important, Nuolan also gave up the idea of ​​having Gu Yifan catch Su Weiwei.

Gu Yifan focused intently on grilling, completely ignoring the noisy, playful chatter of the two girls nearby.

When Nuolan and Su Weiwei were both tired of chasing each other, they looked at each other from a distance.

Su Weiwei wanted to take a break, "Let's pause, I'm hungry!"

Nuolan spat out a strand of hair she had eaten, and said resentfully, "I won't!"

"We're even! You splashed water on me first," Su Weiwei continued to shout.

"You covered my eyes first!"

"You made me move to the back seat first!!"

"You go first." Nuolan gritted her teeth, too lazy to call out again and pretending to chase after him.

"Hey you two, time to eat."

Gu Yifan's voice came just in time, "Hurry up and eat, it might rain later."

In a short while, the wind picked up and the sky gradually darkened.

Gu Yifan sensed something was wrong. It was extremely hot during the day, but the temperature suddenly dropped near dusk, which was a sign that a heavy rain was about to fall.

After hesitating for a moment, Nuolan finally stated her condition: "Give me five of your lamb skewers!"

"No, three skewers at most!" Su Weiwei wasn't fighting over the lamb skewers themselves, but rather because they were lamb skewers personally grilled by Gu Yifan, and she didn't want to give them away so easily.

"You don't like lamb, so here are four skewers!" Nuolan was puzzled. Su Weiwei usually hated lamb, finding it gamey and greasy.

Why do I suddenly want to eat this today?

"Okay, but you're not allowed to take revenge on me anymore!" Su Weiwei thought for a moment and agreed.

The two sisters finally reconciled.

However, on her way back, Su Weiwei remained cautious and kept her distance from Nuolan.

Watching the two women walk back, Gu Yifan sighed again, saying that men are becoming more and more like children as they get older, and women are almost the same.

"Do you want chili peppers and cumin?"

"Give me some, and give Su Weiwei extra chili peppers," Nuolan whispered to Gu Yifan.

Ah, what a vengeful woman.

After Gu Yifan took the thirty skewers of lamb off the grill and placed them on a stainless steel plate.

Next, they took out squid tentacles, also packaged as finished products, but they looked very fresh, and I guess they weren't cheap.

Turning my head, I saw that there was still a large handful of lamb skewers on the plate.

"Why aren't you eating?" Gu Yifan asked curiously.

"The rest are all yours," Nuolan said casually.

Ten skewers would be enough for her and Su Weiwei, so she would have nine skewers and Su Weiwei would have one.

Just right~
Seeing this, Su Weiwei stomped her foot, "Xiao Lanlan, you're deliberately getting revenge!"

Gu Yifan casually picked up a few skewers and handed them over, saying, "Eat up, stop fooling around."

"Hey!" Nuolan immediately snatched the lamb skewers from Gu Yifan's hands.

After thinking for a moment, she handed hers to Su Weiwei with a hint of annoyance, while Nuolan picked up the lamb skewers she had snatched from Gu Yifan, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

"You're only allowed to care about your sister, and only allowed to be this good to me, understand? You're not allowed to care about that stinky fox."

Gu Yifan was speechless at Nuolan's inexplicable possessiveness. "I understand."

Nolan was somewhat satisfied then. She sniffed the steaming lamb skewers, opened her cherry-like mouth, and tentatively took a bite.

"Hmm~!"

Originally, neither Nuolan nor Su Weiwei liked greasy food.

They want to stay beautiful, but they can't eat these oily and salty foods.

But the lamb skewers in her hand now felt different to Nolan.

The initial taste wasn't greasy at all; instead, it had a rich aroma, followed by a few drops of meat juice oozing out from the tender meat.

The grilling was done to perfection; it wasn't overcooked and burnt, leaving only a burnt taste, nor was it undercooked, tough, and greasy.

Nolan's eyes lit up.

"How's the taste?" Gu Yifan asked, turning his head. Nuolan nodded in surprise and said, "It's delicious. Where did you learn this skill?"

"Maybe it's because the ingredients are fresher. I haven't studied this before," Gu Yifan said casually.

But in reality...

[By using the various precious medicinal herbs brought by the Dragon Maiden Fairy, you have successfully refined the Purple Cloud Pill, a breakthrough pill for advancing from the Innate to the Purple Mansion stage!]

[After taking it, there's a chance you'll break through a bottleneck at a minor level!]

The recipe for the Purple Cloud Pill has been recorded.

Candied hawthorn berries are like a breakthrough pill, and roasted lamb skewers are like a purple cloud pill. System, you really know how to play games.

With the system's help, it's no wonder that the food tastes good.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light flashed across the distant, cloud-covered sky!

"Rumble--"

As if something had suddenly exploded, a muffled thunderous sound echoed between heaven and earth.

Su Weiwei and Nuolan both instinctively bent over, their faces filled with panic, and turned to look at the horizon.

A raindrop the size of a bean was the first to fall from the gloomy sky.

It landed right on the charcoal in the barbecue grill, and white smoke rose—"Hiss~"

More raindrops began to fall.

Gu Yifan sighed and asked the two girls to get a parasol to help him shade himself, since he still had to finish grilling the squid tentacles in his hands.

结果
It was as if Su Weiwei and Nuolan had planned it in advance.

They ran over from either side and hugged Gu Yifan's arms, enveloping him in a warm and soft embrace.

"It's raining, let's go back to the tent first," Nuolan said, biting her lip, looking anxious.

Su Weiwei pursed her lips, her eyes darting around as she looked at Gu Yifan.

"Xiao Fan, I'm scared~"
